Filling boundaries of coarse manifolds in semisimple and solvable arithmetic groups (Q388771): Difference between revisions

Summary: We provide partial results towards a conjectural generalization of a theorem of Lubotzky-Mozes-Raghunathan for arithmetic groups (over number fields or function fields) that implies, in low dimensions, both polynomial isoperimetric inequalities and finiteness properties. As a tool in our proof, we establish polynomial isoperimetric inequalities and finiteness properties for certain solvable groups that appear as subgroups of parabolic groups in semisimple groups, thus generalizing a theorem of \textit{K.-U. Bux} [Geom. Topol. 8, 611--644 (2004; Zbl 1066.20049)]. We also develop a precise version of reduction theory for arithmetic groups whose proof is, for the most part, independent of whether the underlying global field is a number field or a function field.
